Yes! Especially if your application is legacy/old and requires Windows anyway. I used to think why people would do that when you can dockerize SQL Server and just use Debian or Fedora or whatever but I once tried that on a legacy application and things... were not quite right.
It was easier to install on Windows than to debug the issue so I just let it go.
I think things would be different if the code was new or I was familiar with it enough to anticipate how it could break in different ways.
If the code/framework is new enough, it might be worthwhile diving into that rabbithole.
